> Who is like, "damn I wish I had a tablet that I could fold up and still barely fit in my pocket"? Me! Sounds great. Ideally a full fold up laptops or some sort of HUD, but I'll take a pocket folding tablet for now.

Every windows install I've ever done (in Australia) I picked "English (Australia)" when possible, and "English (UK)" before Microsoft provided that localisation option. I've never seen US letter as a default.

If we're being anecdotal, I haven't had a single outage of anything affect me at all this year, but have had many in previous years. Often the thing blamed publicly has been incorrect too.

I see nothing at a glance about the author (Dmitry Kalinin) being American, so I can't imagine that is relevant.

The fact that people have lived and worked near data centres for decades and didn't even know what the term meant - let alone be adversely impacted by them - probably indicates they're broadly an non issue. All of a sudden out of

I just want to say thank you. I've bought most of your games and they scratch an itch for me that few things in life do. I really appreciate it!

It's been pretty common in the past for tech companies to announce outages and quick updates about them on twitter for decades. I'm sure their status page etc will be updated soon, but it's historically been the fastest way t

Maybe. The use cases people primarily use LLMs for (documents, coding, design, research) existed decades ago with different tooling. Who knows if the future will have a slew of new problems that require new models or will continue to be sim

Is that true? It feels wrong. Consumer grade SSDs and spinning disks are unlikely to be the products used in enterprise.

I suspect the type of person who is even aware of this 4GB blob is the type of person who would research its usage. Pretty high venn diagram crossover.

Can you explain for the billions of the rest of us why this is the "most stressful time of the year" for the group you're referencing? I assume that's American students and/or teachers?

All these articles listing the American schools affected, "nationwide" outage reported, meanwhile hundreds of millions in the rest of the world affected. Does anyone have a list of affected schools?

Completely agree. How is it possible they issued these permits (years ago it seems) without having this infrastructure in place?

Maybe, but I can see why people don't want to deal with red tape to do someone a favour. Once I tried to help an open source project with a bug and was rejected because I didn't agree to support the Ukraine, that all sexual orient

What are you basing that on? I'm usually pretty good at sniffing out AI writing, and it smells human to me.

The author quite clearly outlines their reasoning for this in the article: > Carrot Disclosure, dangling a metaphorical carrot in front of the vendor to incentivise change. The main idea is to only publish the (redacted) output of the ex

I haven't used any of the things you mentioned (except for an iPad) for a decade or so, but I can assure you they were all awful then compared to my experience years earlier with them.

For the record, I have seen every one of those in cloud based hosting multiple times. None of those issues require special work any more than they do than in traditional hosting.

Where in that link are instructions provided for someone to use it without a mobile phone? I see instructions for calling, but that still requires a mobile phone (or if we're being generous, a street with a payphone nearby).

If Spotify doesn't give you the controls you want... Don't use Spotify? If my local park had a series of rotating knives and the council refused to do anything about it, I wouldn't let my kids go down there, supervised or not

Don't pay and when you get a fine take them to court and state you don't have a bank card. There's jo wat a council can legally require you to enter into an agreement with a bank to use council run facilities, it's likel

That's a valid sounding argument. However many people with no strong view either way are producing functional, good code with AI daily, and the original context of this thread is about someone who has never been able to produce anythin
